Gateway News Service (GNS) :
Tuesday evening, 18 Alberta MLA s
drank liquor and ate hors d’oeuvres while
students lobbied them on student and
education issues. :
Following is a collection of anecdotes
provided by three Gateway reporters; Wes
Oginski, goreen Peterson, and Peter
Hammond (Canadian University Press
Fieldworker), who attended the event.
A roomful of politicians and students
does not provide many cohesive conver-
sations, but common issues were raised and
discussed.
Ernie Isley, MLA Vegreville,
challenged anyone to bring him a person
who could not go to a post secondary
institution because of financing. Until |
then, he will not accept that finances
constitute an accessibility barrier to these
institutions..
Two MLA’s were asked for their
reaction to the dependency clause in the
Student Loan Program. Shirley Cripps,
the clause would cause undue hardships to
students who weren't supported by their
parents.
justified the clause. He said it was not the
provincial government's responsibility to
underwrite education for those without
support. If the government supplied
money without parents contributing, it
would encourage all parents not to.
He did offer some advice on the loan
program: “I think that the Student
Advocate from the universities should sit
on the Student Finance Board.”
“T have faith in the system,” Isley
stated. “You find me a single student who
has been denied a university education
because of lack of funding.”
Isley went on to say that students with -
financial problems should contact their
MLA's for help. He said this approach has
been successful; with many, in the past.
Isley's reply to questions on tuition
and tuition indexing was “I think people
have to pay for something, in order to
appreciate it.” He also felt tuition should be
a standard percentage of university
operating costs, between 9 and 12 percent.
He said further that tuition costs are not a
barrier to education.
However, students and politicians
agreed on some issues.
‘To the most part, they were receptive
to our views,” says Liz Lunney, Students’
Union v.p. academic, after the Night.
“Many indicated they would like us to
forward them information.”
Lunney says that students were able to
meet many of the MLAs they could not
meet during FAS (Federation of Alberta
Students) Lobby Day, on November 9.
“One quarter of the MLAs were
there,” says FAS fieldworker Matt
Shaughnessy. “In the past two weeks we've
reached half the legislature personally.” -.
“If they ignore us, it shows a
downward swing in our democracy,” he
adds. Q
Connie Osterman, Tory party House
Whip, says that she and some of her
colleages whom she has spoken to since the
event found it informative.
“From my perspective I thought it was
informative,” she says.
“I picked up some information I did:
not know before,” Osterman admits. She
also says there is information she is going
to check into.
Osterman also felt that University
Night was much better organized than last
year.
“Time is better utilized this way,’ she
says. Last year's University Night focused
on Laikaaect and tour of facilities.
“We did open their eyes a little bit,”
Gaudet adds.
“This kind of lobbying is effective, ¢
even if you can’t see direct results. The |
MLAs go back knowing that students care.” f
“It would have been more effective if |
the premier or cabinet had been there,’
says Shaughnessy.
‘| got tired of the hard luck stories,” he
adds. Many MLAs mentioned how they had
worked their way through school.

"You find me a

because of lack of

MLA Ernie Isley
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1981
Isley entered this discussion, saying he wo students get dazed in the wining and dining at University Night, and begin to lobby each other.
MLAs and students stopped their
individual conversations briefly to listen to
scheduled speeches. However, SU presi-
dent Phil Soper was the only one of those
who attended.
After listing some famous U of A
alumni, Soper spoke about how good the
University is, mentioning new programs,
research and. the University Games.
. “We rate in the top three or four in the
country,” he said. aon
“But there are some statistics I’m not
proud of. We were three million dollars
short last year; we've got quotas in
engineering, commerce, medicine, in a
majority of the faculties here.
“The most important figure: in the last
three years we've had to cut 50 academic
positions at the university.
“We can all agree on what the purpose
of this university is: to oxy higher
education in this province. The question is,
how?” he continued. .
Al Hiebert, education caucus chair, makes an impromptu
speech for the evening. :
... THERE REALLY
IS A FIRE!!!
Al Hiebert, education caucus chair-
man, responded to Soper in an impromptu
speech, first reminding guests that he was
also a U of A grad. “I'd like to think that I
would be one of the famous alumni (Soper)
mentioned,” he said, while his. colle:
Rolly Cook, another former U of A student,
loudly booed. ;
Hiebert then told the audience, that
cutbacks are not crucial to the quality of
education:
“Learning at higher education is not
contingent on 50 profs more or less.
There’s an assumption on how we learn.
First, there's motivation; second, there’s
the ability to learn; and third, students have
to be responsible for how they learn.”
Later in the evening, MLA Nigel
Pengelly asked Soper, “I suppose you want
to follow in the footsteps of Clark and
Lougheed’ ge
“What?” said Soper, without missing
a beat, “You mean change the govern-
ment?”

MLA’s inaction
Jack Campbell, an MLA, gave one of these stories. “I was so
nervous when I went to srite my grade six exams that I couldn't
shave,” he said. :
An interesting aspect of the evening was the Alberta Tory
MLA's reaction to Howard Pawley’s New Democratic Party victory
in Manitoba. Pawley’s party took 33 of the 57 seats in the Tuesday
provincial elections.
Most MLA’s showed shock, at what Isley referred to as the
election of another socialist government. —
Isley was vocal about the federal, “socialist” government.
“There hasn't been a federal liberal government in years,” he
said. “I am aware of a federal socialist government.” .
He also responded that the province does not tax students for
loans or grants.
“They are taxed by a socialist government in Ottawa,’ he added.
He was also critical of the Gateway’s coverage.
“You guys are part of the problem,” he said. “As soon as you
came in here, you wanted to take us on.”
“You (media) always.have the negative side,’ Isley added.

L’Express has taken ona new
look this year.
Gerry Wright, new manager
of L’Express, is trying to give the
place a clean appearance as well as
improved service.
“At lunch we are making our
sandwiches early (that same
morning) in order to speed up
service.” says Wright. This is an
attempt to get rid of the
traditional long lunch line up.
The cafe will also be having
‘hot items during the lunch hour,
and eventually refilling coffee
s.
“We will have a girl wiping
off the tables, and refilling coffee
cups.” Wright adds. “We'll keep
on doing this as long as no one
takes advantage of it.”
L’Express is a cafe, not a
study area Wright says.
“It’s not that we mind having
students studying over a cup of
coffee, but during our peak hours
many people have a sandwich
_ with no place to sit.”
Wright has more changes
planned. These include the exten-
sion of the coffee counter, and the
partitioning of the eating area by
the windows.
“\..an extension of the ex-
isting flower . box will be
made.....in order to give ita garden

UAB under attack
by Wes Oginski
A petition is being passed
around the campus.
It calls for the University
Athletic Board (UAB) to defeat
the motion that would give them
constitutional power to raise fees
up to 15 per cent per year Without
obealteing student input outside of
the Board.
Liz Lunney, Students’ Union
representative on UAB, has
organized the petition with the
help of other concerned students.
“The purpose of the petition is
to indicate to the University
Athletic Board that students are
concerned and want a voice in the
issue,’ she says,
The petition reads:
We. the’ undersigned con-
demn the University Athletic
Board (UAB) for the considering .
a motion that would empower
UAB to increase fees by up to 15
per cent yearly, and further that
we call on the University Athletic
Board to defeat the motion at its
next meeting on December 8,
198].
Dickson Wood, U of A
chairperson and president of
Men’s Athletics, was unavailable
for comments.
“The wording of the petition
is not so much against the fee
increase as so much against the
process,” Lunney says.
Hugh Hoyles, a UAB
member and director of in-
tramurals and campus recreation,
agrees that most people are
questioning the process rather
than the issue of the fee increase
itself. He also says that UAB
should be able to set those fees.
Wood had said earlier that
the intent of the motion was not
to avoid accountability but rather a
method to maintain the present
level of programming, and more
clearly define UAB’s role.
Lunney says the response tp:
the petition has been good. ~, ~
“People are cautious when:
discussing this issue,” she says.
Some are concerned they will
appear anti-athletics, when they
just object to the process . o'
implementation, she adds. ‘ :
Lunney is also presenting
motions to Students’ Council and
Faculty Association Council, to
support the intent of the petition.
At this moment, these groups
have no official position on the
UAB fee issue.
Ludger Mogge, v.p. external
of the Graduate Students’ Associa-
tion (GSA), says GSA will take a
position on the UAB issue soon.
The issue should go to a
general student referendum, ac-
cording to Lunney.
"It would be a lot moré
effective and a lot more reliable to
take it te referendum,” she says.
“I ho
native to them (UAB), a referen-
dum to be held with the Spring:
election (SU general executive
election), a one time referendum
for the constitutional change,”
Lunney says.
“There has been some confu-
sion in that some think I want an
annual referendum,” she adds, “all. |, ee :
Dickson Wood only wants to maintain present standards.
I want is a one time referendum
that would decide if they (UAB)
should have discretionary power.”
She does agree that there are
other, ways to receive student
input, like approaching Students’
Council, other student groups and
associations, and student clubs.
“I would rather see it go to
referendum,” says Lunney. “More

people participate that way.”
“Less people are sonpeee
the other way,’ she adds.
This is not to say that the
UAB does not have student
representation.

No one at the University of Alberta - neither students, —

is important.

Cabans in the presence of his wife and several students as
he entered hijs_ school.

Of course there are times when we might lose sight
of the importance of education; we often question our deepest
motives for being here when it’s 4:00 a.m. and we still need

All things considered, however, most of us would
freely admit that our time spent at university is time well

Movies in Edmonton.
Regarding the Cineplex
screens as adequate for movie
viewing can only be ascribed to_a
lack of discrimination in the act of
viewing itself. Films are originally
planned for wide screen impact.
Any variation from this entails a
readjustment of the spatial
relationships within the frame
_ which in most films would also
readjust emphasis of the image.
Anyone who has tried to
watch 2001:.A Space Odssey on
television ean attest to the failure
of the small screen to encompass
certain effects. The smaller screen
also tends to distance itself in that
there is a greater. differentiation
tbetween the viewer and the view-
ed.
This is one of the reasons
why television is uninvolving as a
visual medium: one can ignore it
too easily. Movies however re-
quire participation and attention.
elevision is candy to the

relevant as a medium but not in
the sphere of cinematic reproduc-
tion. So if you wantexciting TV by

Conscientious voter
Dear Chrisine Baghdady,
I agree wholeheartedly with
your comments on the recent
student rep election. I withheld
my vote for precisely the same
reasons.
The entire election was run
apathetically, an it appeared
obvious to me from the beginning
that Ms. Farkas would “win”, as
neither candidate made much
attempt to appear publicly to
explain their platforms.
At least at the student council
elections last semestre, we: could
rap in CAB about what either slate
supposedly stood for, and further-
more, the slate booths were
manned most of the day. Don’t hit
us for apathy, Mr. Hooydonk. We
prefer to vote conscientiously, not
just because there’s an election.

Sports coverage biased
Dear Editor;
note on your current
University Athletic Board hype;
Sure, your singular role as
student journalists in the
CUPllective is muck-raking. But
perhaps a bit of self-scrutiny is
required.
Would it be unfair to call the
whole Gateway coverage of sports
on campus elitist, sexist and
undemocratic? You cover men’s
hockey and men’s football and
men’s soccer in lengthy stories, at
times to the exclusion of all else.
and ‘minor’ intercollegiates (we
don’t get any club coverage) often
is written by university employees
or team coaches.
Were theGateway desirous of
consistency in its editorial
policies, you would boycott major
sports coverage entirely, concen-
trating on minor, underfunded
intercollegiates, intramurals, and
club athletic and recreational
activities. And after that, you
might consider covering some
‘issues’ in sport.

efense for UAB image
To whom it may concern, or,
Dear Mr. T. Gateway,
As
intercollegiate athlete, and in-
tramural participant, I find it very
frustrating to read “the Gateway’,
looking for truth and honesty in
reporting and not being able to
find it. I am responding to the
editorial and articles of Nov. 16
’81 concerning the UAB’s propos-
ed fee increase of a maximum of
15% Bo year.
he image (and anyone else
who read the Nov. 16 issue) found
was expounded in those articles
and editorial, is the image of the
increase going to only inter-
collegiate athletes (mostly male)
for them to “act as heroes and
idols by performing to win, at all
costs,” for a majority of idle
spectators.” As well, I (and
numerous others) have been led to
believe that the UAB is out to
“promote the role of the average
student as a spectator rather than
a participant’ and “further the
idea that men are more active than
women.” Why do you, the editors,
make such foolish suppositions
without even attempting to
properly define the role of the
UAB and its philosophy towards
elite athletics, intramurals, and
recreation?
As an intercollegiate athlete,
I do not consider myself a “hero”
or “idol”, nor do I think any
intercollegiate athlete thinks that
he/she is. such an_ outdated,
medieval personification. We are

interest in doing much more than

I, for one, feel [can represent

Intercollegiate athletics is (at

universities across the country can
come together and share in a

that this is the only place that
intercollegiate interests may be

all areas that could be developed
for this purpose.
Do not let “the Gateway’
lead you by the nose, (Believe it or
not, sometimes what the editors
say is very wrong)).
As for ‘intramurals, it is not
the UAB’s fault that only 30% of*
their budget goes to intramurals.
It is your fault (the student) for
not participating in perhaps the
best run intramural program in.

| Abortion undignified
Why is it that some le
never learn? Why is it cde eiiiee
who search for knowledge seem to
lose touch with the basi¢ truths
of right and wrong? Julie
Wheelright, in her article
Holocaust, gives us real insight
into an intellectual attempt to
smooth a-ruffled conscience.
There is no right to have an
abortion. An issue of this
magnitude cannot be transcended
by mere legal or emotional pleas}
And it is definitely not an issue
that can be dealt with in dollars.
and cents or statistical data. This is.
an issue that stems back to the
time that Cane (sic) stood above
Able (sic) and saw the earth turn
crimson beneath him.
The prevalent attitude of
today’s society can be summed up
in one word — ME. This is a time
of self-absorption, self-contained
(sic), self-defence, self-
determination, self-preservation
and most important selfishness.
We preoccupy ourselves with the
persute (sic) of fulfillment of our
own needs. This doesn’t leave
much room for too many others in
our lives, only those that we want
and need. Those that simply don’t
fit in are brushed aside and this is
where part of the issue begins.
What does one do with an
unwanted pregnancy? In our
society there are several options
that are open to us; 1) Abortion,
2) Adoption, 3) “Carrying the
regnancy full term and either
eeping the child yourself or

all that pleasant do offer hope for
both the child and the mother. —
“I'm going to try and make
sure there aren't back street
abortionists. They do two things:
they destroy the baby and he

The solution of course is a
legal abortion which only destroys
the baby and frees the mother to
again follow her own persutes
(sic). What we are told therefore
is that it is wrong to put the
mothers life in danger yet perfect-
ly alright to take the child’s life.
What Miss Wheelright and
the others do not seem to see-is.
that the very needs that cry out for
this kind of solution will soon
enough propel it into macabre
proportions that will in turn make
them potential victims of a

It is at this point in our
history that we must be able to
distinguish from right and wrong.
It is now that we must see that in

troubled society we must learn to
recognize the problems that are
within us and to solve them ina
constructive manner. If we don’t

The Disruptor
To get over the drollness and dullness
of the day, Walter would build a fantasy;
then looking out his window he saw the
military nature of their Government. Sadly
he saw it was all impossible.
His house on Newbridge road, was
enclosed by other houses of the same
gender. There was no movement, except
up and down the same road the others used.
the people went to the same places, and
returned, at about the same time, defeated
as the day before. What became obvious
however, was their insistence éh No Other
Way. What appeared to be a Government
propaganda campaign. Walter shuddered -
unwilling to bear an incomplete nightmare
- a daylight horror. Even annihilation
looked good, if it would speak out of the
unsolved and illegal Longing. He was nota.
part of this world; had only lived here a few
years; and thus still like a tourist.
He paid rent, and frequented the
neighbourhood grocery store on Bir-
mingham Street, greeting - in a quiet way -
the always quiet proprietor, and soem. u
some items. Then paying for them wit
small change, as each item was accounted
for; small coins paid it all. To see the
government he resorted to the paper, also
available there; but a drugstore further
down lent him books and magazines, so he
knew it all by what was missing. Almost-
old ladies, always in some drab dress, and
disagreeably proportioned, still hung out
their laundry to dry across their back yards -
sending (it almost seemed) signals to some
stranger, or merely decorating their house
posteriors with underwear banners and
streamers. -
Although he’d worked several times
over the years, his money supply was going
down, and he as yet had no PE. Somethin
strange gs goonty to be evident, he found,
instead of finding work, of being told it
was Impossible. He wondered where they
learned it, but felt the spite and hatred of
their all-consuming intolerance. He noted
their trivial intelligence schemes as they
pum him for signs of his own un-
suitability; they worked for that moment.....
When the World Power of Govern-
ment came down on him, and with all its
spies running around him, he finally took
matters in his own hand. A fine wooden
case held the pistol, gleaming silver and
fairly shining. Then his Disruptor blazed,
searing a hole through steel and wooden
doors, from secure places to vaults, as he
searched for the material and the plans. He
needed to know who the Government was;
as well as secure his own safety and well-
being.
His landlady, Mrs. Buchnel put in an
appearance every so often; an old lady, in
her fiftiés she seemed quite finished: or
infertile. She would comment on how fine
the day was, pleased somehow to stand
outside, in bare hallways and exert her
right. She would guess through his words
whether he would pay the rent again, how
good for it he was. Affable when she left, he
wondered if she too worked for a foreign
power - the Government. But looking
about his room for more money, he realized
that all she wished for was more paper - to
be taken down, someday to the Bank, or the
Grocer; all of whom-held the strings of her
future. She had no ulterior motive.....
Silver and blue, shining, the Disruptor
gleamed in his hand, as he looked down on
it, fondly. His mind received the quality of
engineering that had gone into this
ultimate tool. (at least for this place, and
this century). He praised, enjoyed, the
many unseen workmen who had conceived
and justified - ie. designed - this instru-
ment. It would be vital, to require it; to Use
it.....And to propagate a virgin truth of his
species with it. The species’ ultimate
Property, or spirit, could yet be developed
through it - they were Clear, established; a
nation of worthy people. Now many were
grey (as others before them had become)
and. had gone, back to their life-fold;
believing that it was the All they needed:
the Self, or the , or the race of many,
understood by the difference and tight of
the One. They were departed now from
this planet, having considered it, and
worried it, and then gotten on with a
greater matter; but piqued and desiring to
make it on his own, Walter - his earth name
- had come here alone.
Many years ago he’s come here, to see
the green Earth; and when he had looked:
1

|
down from outside of its atmosphere,
desiring only to get closer; then he’s found
it, and lived it; and now at last, it appeared
he was leaving it. Their arrogant multi-
faceted systems were rooting him out. And
Who was it? Who was there? When heavy
machinery passed blocks away, he felt a
tremble in his hand move over to his heart.
He'd lose his contact; yet was that sound
meant for him? Heavy military equipment.
Singly, secretly, he could still baffle and
outrace the best - leave the rest. But he
wondered - who was he, who was his
tormentor, the government's appointed
agent?
He rented the shack, in the backyard,
and began uniting his material. A plastic-
faced window gave hima view of the empty
yard with not even a tree to show its grace.
He often stopped, gaining a loss, by looking
into, disappearing into, the empty quiet of
the wilderness between the house and the
shack. There was something there. A low,
almost-destroyed fence surrounded the
yard. He wondered if it had always been
that way, fallen down; a queer symmetry,
built to tilt, perhaps oblivious to order.
One night the silence baffled him, but
at its worst he found he couldn't sleep, and
he went out to the shack, to organize, and
eventually build his ship. The trees in the
neighbour's yard, and the silent early hours,
seemed condesctidlng to his purpose. He
could feel the Universe, and it was gentle
with him. He wondered if the landlady - so
obviously old - would run out of rent some
day?
On another day his gun blasted
through another door. He continued to
store material, and later to use it: construc-
ting carefully from the ground up, to keep
the Earth authority from his plan. But he
thought: even they couldn’t guess how
successful they had been. He had given up
trying to see through walls. He was leaving.
Components were being <iierublat
He was building a.....
In the years he’s been here he had
regarded one house, down the street witha
certain secret fascination. It started with its
color - tan paint; which didn’t appear at all
to be smeared on like all the rest.
Sentiment; something was proposed in its
artistic economy. Sleepy one day, almost
forgotten, he had noted a strange man,
with part of a family, standing around the
yard. And there, between the family, all lost
together, was that special quality, that
knowledge which shone in their eyes, and
in their mind beyond.
‘They're close’ he thought once; but
soon forgot. The Governinent wasn’t close
at all - if the family were still allowed to
live. 2
Still; he battled with the Earth race;
getting one package after another
assembled. They were close; their repres-
“LITERARY
SUPPLEMENT
sion stolidly working to break him out. And
it was so tough a battle, that he forgot it,
and saw instead that the loneliness which
had been outside, in the vacuum of the yard,
had crept into him. A silent music, or a
magnetic angel directed him to the house
across the street, where that man lived. But
it didn’t matter; he seldom noticed its
address = put away entirely the notion of
making an appointment there, preferring
to feel its flux, as it soared out through the
world and into his muscles, giving them the
nobility of strength. ;
One day it was too much - the
emptiness - and he arrived and knocked on
the door. The man answered and noted
with his eyes that he'd been expecting him.
Walter went in, forgotten - for he noticed
the ‘I’ve’. The sentiment of one, and of
another, as All. The man’s wife greeted
him, as he was shown a chair. Even the wife
was a study. She was thin and a little pale,
but transiently beautiful. Her tight cheeks,
firm mouth; seemed to be alive with
direction.
They talked of what they could: Hans,
‘for that was the man’s name, and Walter,
where did he work, and so on. The man had
no job, it turned out, and scraped and
squeezed where he could.
‘Lately its been getting harder and
harder.....’
As if something was there interfering:
a Fortune, a Fate. . . or a Government? He
pondered. Was it natural; was it simply
that? And he knew it wasn’t. Hans went
anywhere in search of forgotten work; abit
someone else may have left undone, and
still could find no place. They talked on -
Walter's thoughts alive, sill they: knew they
‘were helping each other.
When he left he felt he had ac-
complished something: had made at last
that fatal and long sought for contact with
the eternal Earth - what his teachers had
said must occur wherever chance has
oodbye, with a
€ street to his
fashioned a life. He said £
smile, and went across
work. |
He realized soon, that poverty - the
poverty that affected Hans - was mature - a
motive he himself needed for operating.
He could not look away, or forget - a plight
he knew was his alone. Inside, even as an
alien from beyond the Earth, he was a
hopelessly dependent life form; looking to
be fine or sufficient somehow. He had a
being to express, all of his own. A longing
inside, which hopelessly defied physics, as
it defied the state and its own ego.
The family, the three young children,
spoke of him of an intelligence, of a
rationality, that was universal, and swelt
within their consciousness. Of how their
roup was, of how small was the one.
ounting debts, and a vision of hunger
(which was so terribly indecent in their
society) were driving them; and growing
worse, yet more defined. In the weeks that
followed he saw their situation go from bad
the Gateway, page Y
to worse. Suddenly, easily one day, it had §
become possible for him to intervene:
somewhere, some way, in the twilight he
had joined them; gone under them; was not
with them.
Walter had no trouble finding a 4
certain job; he was on the production line,
and when a few more weeks passed, he
gave half of his pay cheque to Hans. He had
worried ‘about Hans, whether he would
understand, or be suspicious, or see
Walter's true, but real ulterior motive: that f
they had a real common enemy; that Hans
was to be, an Ally. But he understood, and
took the money. They were both spacemen,
aware of an eternal and ever-present
vacuum.
But there was such a vacuum between
worlds, he told Hans; as there was between
individuals here. And he explained the
beauty of naked worlds, before politics
reared up. A startled look y hire in
Hans'’s eyes, as he realized he had seen it,
had touched it. Like water; an empty kind
of water - this was all space was; and the
scales seemed to drop from his eyes, as he
realized the mystical reality that had passed
for truth all his days. From that moment §)
on, there seemed a new brightness in Hans, §f
as he wondered: could he?
ould it be? That {
there was a way; and there was a freedom
from the Government. Strangely he needed
to do something new, quite new, andanew 4
kind of vegetation - barrenness - fascinated
him.
Finally, when he had no luck with the 5
Government, when nothing changed itself
to right, Hans asked - “Is it possible - for
us....; for me, to settle this new land; where
nothing is, but that which is?”
The new land felt to him to be so ff
forgotten -' clearly female - emptiness
simply could not be evacuated of emotion,
for fife The new purpose, interested even
his wife, who could not guess that it was
well-founded. :
But this left Walter with a problem.
All these people; could they now just leave?
It seemed not, now that he knew they were
real, but...., :
They would call his planet - the Red
Planet - for assistance; and his ship was
virtually complete. But was it right, to just
leave this earth behind them?
A moment he thought, a day he
— and then he sent his message,
acutely aware the Government might
able to read his message, but without fearin {
him. There was determination in its place. §
“The children, or their children, must
_return,” he cautioned Hans.
“The Government must become
aware,” he said, of moments it could create 3
in a person's life. Hans nodded. They
wouldn't simply leave, yet they could not
stay where there was no hope; where there
was no hope of ever living in, or finding,
trust: the start of creation.
he Red Planet came closer - the f
starting point for their new life - and
Walter wondered what made him think §
and even say such a horrible thing. Clearly
it was the most eccentric energy un-
discovered: trust. From an earth machine,
with a billion heads, and not one heart. But
the child beside him, with wide-open eyes,
seemed somehow to know. His eyes would §
only open to see, at the least, his parents’
paradise.

A Tale of Bygone Times
Speaking of fairy tales, did you hear
the one about the three princesses? You
didn't?
Well, once upon a time there lived a
king ina castle (stop me if you've heard this
one before). One night the king heard a
knock at the door and, looking out he saw
three lovely princesses.
“Please, your highness,” said one, “We
have been travelling through your country
and can find no place to spend the night.
Could we stay in your castle?”
“Why certainly,” the king replied, “In
fact, as it happens, I have exactly three beds
available. Unfortunately, | have only one
pair of pajamas to lend you.
So one princess went to bed wearing
the pajama top, one went to bed wearing
Love is the soft caress of the suin’s rays
on bitter fruit making it sweet,
It is the sound of a symphony as
nature strums her harp
It has the taste of a tall ice-filled
glass of refreshing drink
It has the fragrance of flowers
awakening in the early morning
and love is a bird in flight
gliding freely over a twinkling sea.
Ode to the Infinite Wisdom of Mankind

the pajama bottom, and the other went to
bed wearing nothing at all. A few hours
later the king heard another knock. This® <
time it was a travelling salesman....or
rather, a knight in shining armor.
“Please, my lord,” said the knight, “I
have been travelling long, and can find no
place to lay my head. May I rest the night in
your castle?”
“Most assuredly,” replied the king,
“But you must share a bed, for they are all
taken.”
So then: who did the knight sleep
with? (dramatic pause)
He slept (heh heh) with the king!
After all, it is a fairy tale. Hahahaha, ohoho,

Being Young
These days that pass
are not your last,
it's just another page,
For when it comes
to being young
you never go by age
The old men blink
and shoot a wink,
flashing a toothless smile;
For when it comes
to being young,
those old boys sure have style
The ladies too,
will talk ww you
for hours without breaks;
For when it comes
‘to being young,
those girls have what it takes
You're twenty-one and just as fun s
as the day that we first met,
For when it comes to being young
you're as young as you can get.

On Aerodynamics
The car had an airscoop set into the hood;
The scoop had a scoop, though it did little good.
The sun-roof had spoilers, to keep out the draught,
And aeroplane ailerons set fore and aft.
A thunderous manifold stuck out each side,
With rows of exhaust pipes all eight inches wide.
Each wing had a vent like a chromium fin,
To suck out the air that the scoop had sucked in.
The coroner said that he hadn't a doubt
Venturi effect turned the car inside out.

The price of night ~
We play, sae
we play, because children play
at the edge of the forest,
because children chase each other along country lanes
until dark;
then, tired and sweaty,
knees dirty from earth and grass,
they feel like soldiers coming home.
But it’s evening
and morning will come
only after we've paid the price of a night,
hour upon hour
with dreams in our heads.
But let's not think of that too much.
We're children constantly stealing
each other's time,
and it’s almost midnight.

i.
Hiya kid. Come in. Sit down. Smoke?
No, eh? Yah, yah I've read the packages. So
you wanna hear about it. It's the toughest
but shortest case I've handled yet. I call it.....
The Brief Briefcase Case
It all started the morning of Wednes-
day, October 21, at 10:35 am. I was
minding my own.business, sitting in the
East Chemistry Building on the U of Eh
campus. I was working on some notes of
the case I was just wrapping up; it’s going
to court next week, you know. Anyhow,
nothing was out of the ordinary. Or so I
thought.
Suddenly, rising above the babble of
students, I heard the clicking of a pair of
wicked stiletto heels. Heads turned, a hush
settled over the hallway broken only by the
metronome-perfect click, click, click of
those heels. And then, SHE appeared. I
jumped right up. It was her! That notorious
heart-breaker, Fetiithe fatale, and genuinely
kinky Arts student, known for her steely
stares and disdainful glares, the S & M
Chick!!
Then, as quickly as she appeared, she
passed by and the spell was broken. But I
could swear she gave me the once-over. In
fact, that look said, “Follow me, honey, but
don’t try anything funny.”
Who was I to argue? so follow I did. It
wasn't until she walked into the ladies
room that I realized my mistake. That stare
really meant, “Oh yuck, the men on campus
get worse every year.” Oh, well. Fora short
guy with a permanent cigarette embedded
in that sneer I use for a smile, you can't
blame me for thinking.....But enough of
that.
It was at that moment that I realized I
was missing something. But what? Watch,
hat, glasses, cigarette, lighter, wallet, shoes,
socks, gun - aft dueck: What was missing? I
reached for my briefcase to make sure
everything was intact. Ah-hah! Briefcase!
That was what was missing! | must have
left it where I was sitting.
Qh no, all those secret RCMP
documents, all those details on land
dealings and city council, all those rolling
papers! This was an emergency! I raced
back to the scene of the crime. But, alas,
alack, my briefcase wasn’t there.
I hastened to question a female,
caucasian, early twenties, who was sitting
in the spot that I had just left. 1 mean, ah,

Great. But at least I knew then what I

ft the entire campus. Then it came to me
— the campus security office! Quicker than
you can say “Indiana Jones is into whips”, I
was opening the front door to the office. I
steeled myself for the imminent show-
down.
I swaggered slowly up to the reception
desk. A seedy-looking female asked what I
wanted. | would have told her but she was
the violent type, so instead I questioned her
on the missing briefcase. Apparently she
had already heard of it. She called a security
guard from the back of the office.
When he walked into the room, good
gravy, he was carrying my briefcase!! He
was admitting to the crime in broad
daylight — with witnesses present!! This
was turning out better than I had hoped for.
Just as I was about to point an accusing
finger at him, the cop said, “A student
turned this in to me. In the Chem building, I
believe. She said it was just left by some,
ah....g00f, was the term I believe she used. If
you can identify this, it’s yours.”
What? I was astounded. He was
handing it over to me! I opened it up and
rifled through the contents. My God, it was
all there! A voice stabbed me in the back.
“Sign here, please.” What? “Sign here and
you can take it.” Incredulously, I took the
pen offered and wrote my John Henry.
(Actually, I signed my real name — that’s
just an expression, get it?)
With my briefcase and my battered
hopes for a real live scandal, I turned to

Ptale of the Pterodactyls
The early pterodactyl was a lizard, of a sort,
And small, and insignificant, and slow, and rather short.
Extinction threatened every day, :
In every kind of nasty way,
Like being squashed beneath the paw
Of any passing dinosaur, -
But terminal compaction was avoided just in time:
A pterosaur of genius discovered how to climb.
Though climbing up was difficult, descents were made with ease;
The wails of falling pterosaurs would echo through the trees. ”
Till steady evolution,
Developed a solution,
Creating wings
From skin and things
And causing air pollution.
The slender flew above the rocks, and glided round all day.
The portly flew like concrete blocks, and soon became passe.
They saured around above the ground, their rows of ptiny pteeth
Instilling pterror in the hearts of all who dwelt beneath.
Consider now the story of a pterodactyl maid,
Who met an Archaeopteryx above the forest glade.
; (The pterosaurs refused to mix
With trendy Archaeopteryx;
They never, ever,
Flocked together,
Poendgbinds of different feather).
She fell for him, quite literally:
She tumbled from the family tree.
Her parents disapproved the match (they did it for the best;
They weren't about to let her hatch an egg in Archie’s nest).
They said. it would be scandalous, they said it was absurd.
The children wouldn't know if they were lizard, bat or bird.
The upstart Archaeopteryx, a chicken, got the message,
The shining bird of Paradise became a bird of passage.
His pterodactyl maiden sighed, -
She wasted, faded, pined and died.
The lady pterodactyls were romantically inclined,
And as the tragic story spread, with one accord they pined.
The nubile maidens perished on the forest’s ferny floor.
I find it sad there are no pterodactyls any more.

Metaphysical but good
The Game of Our Lives
Peter Gzowski
McClelland and Stewart, 1981
review by Kent Blinston
Peter Gzowski was fortunate to have
chosen to follow the 1980-81 Edmonton
study of the
great Canadian game. The Montreal
* Canadians would have provided a study of
success. The Winnipeg Jets a study of
failure and the Toronto Maple Leafs a study
of bitterness and dissension.
But in The Game of Our Lives
Gzowski wanted to tell every story in
hockey and only the Oilers had them all.
There are the individual stories of the
rookies in strange and unsettling surroun-
dings, the veterans in a changing game, the
fringe players who will never make the big
league and, of course, the player who is the
greatest of his day.
There are also the team stories, the
changes brought about by losing, winning, —
trades and firings.
‘The point is always that the stories
never change whether the team is the 80-
81 Oilers or the Montreal AAA of 1893.
Nor is hockey all that different whether it
is played in the NHL or in a community
rink in Galt, Ontario.
While Gzowski's
metaphysical descriptions of the swoop
and glide of eternal, infinite hockey are
usually tiresome, the stories of the Oilers
as a team and as individuals are the bulk
and the strength of the book.
Particular stories are a must for any’
Oiler fan who wants to understand his
team. Curt Brackenbury emerges as a man
of character who is more important to the
Oilers than most of the players who get
regular ice time. Paul Coffey’s unim-
pressive start and exceptional finish make
sense as Gzowski chronicles his growing
confidence.
There are also the stories of the great
players of the game from Joe Malone to
Bobby Orr, told mainly as foils to the story
of Wayne Gretzky (although the story of
~
mystical--
Don Murdoch could have been the story of
Howie Morenz). Other side trips include
sports medicine and psychology, the |
defection of Anton and Peter Stastny and
Peter Pocklington’s purchase of the Ed-
monton Trappers.
Gzowski’s descriptions of his own
hockey days glow with a boyhood in-
nocence that is often reflected in his f
description of hockey today. Perhaps
because few of us have grown up playing
hockey every day after ciel, and living or
dying with the home, team, hockey is no
longer the game of our lives as it is for him.
But for most of us it is still our first game,
and for its fans, particularly Oiler fans, The
Game of Our Lives is a consistantly
entertaining book. :
The band appearing this weekend in
Dinwoodie is not, as was mentioned
Tuesday in an ad and in Up and Coming,

Really! : :
Martha and the Muffins -
This Is The Ice Age
Dindisc VL 2228
Martha and the Muffins are a sad
example of a band being pushed too far too
quickly. When the Toronto group hit the
UK charts with Echo Beach a couple of
years ago, the media and fans in Britain
latched on to the band, making them the
Next Big Thing.....for a while. The result
was predictable. A second album was
rushed through to follow up Metro Music
(a great pop album), and suddenly Martha
and the Muffins disappeared.
To their credit, they disappeared back
to Canada, to make a new album in relative
obscurity. Now, buoyed by a strong single,
Martha and the Muffins are back, ready to
take on the world again. :
Unfortunately, the new album begins
and ends at the single. “Women Around
the World at Work” is great — an anthem
you can dance to. Itscléver combination of
mindless pop and ‘rilly serious social
concepts shows rock 'n roll at its best:
That's about all there is to say about
Ice Age, though. All that’s good, anyway. At
the top of the list of problems is the
increasing presence of Mark Gane. Gane is
a passable songwriter (he penned
“Women”, fer cryin’ out loud) but as a
vocalist he makes Dan Hill sound hyperac-
tive. Without exception, Gane’s vocals are
dull and listless. It is as if he was afraid his
vocal chords would shatter under any stress
whatsoever.
Potentially effective tunes like
“Swimoing” are shot down by the
hypnosis-inducing effect of Gane’s in-
tonations. In fact, a somnolent air pervades
most of the album. I don’t know how much,
if any, of this ennui can be attributed to
Martha Ladly’s departure (there were, you
remember, two Martha's in the original
band), but the two female lead singers -
definitely made Martha and the Muffins a
different band. Now we're back to the same
old post-wave drooping. This ts the Ice
Age leaves me cold.
Richard White -
Down To Dreaming
Tonic TON - 1
ite is an Edmontonian who has
joined the increasing ranks of those who
have produced their own records. This first
effort is a pretty good example of the kind
of disc you like to listen to on dreary
afternoons to be accompaniment of a
particularily pleasant brandy.
White is one of those intimate
performers who invites you to journey
with him into the innermost recesses of the
human psyche. He tends to show a
preoccupation with male-female
relationships, both the kind that just aren't
working despite the best of intentions, and
the kind that work despite everything.
The songs onDown to Dreaming are
all written by White, and I guess he bats -
about .500 this time. The songs that work
are intimate without being embarrassing,
and - give the man credit - they are
obviously Canadian without being preachy
about it. The songs that don’t work fail for
the same reason that the first works of
beginning playwrights often fail: it’s just
too hard to believe that people really think
or act that way.
A tooth-grittin example of the latter is
There's
“Take Back Your Oilwells’.
nothing wrong with the sentiment; the
provincial government does give short
shrift to agriculture. But farmers seldom
speak like poets; “You can take back your
oil wells/They've cursed my precious soil”
doesn’t really portray bitterness. This is
social protest run through a rose-coloured
filter.
White's gentle voice is a
handicap when dealing with the harsher
aspects of human emotion. “Come To
Alberta” is a vague sort of song about how
nasty it really is that we've taken all that
land away from the Indians - the sort of
thing you hear talked of over bottles of
. Perrier. If what White feels is anger, then
he has failed to get that across to us.
The good songs are like good people,
though - I know I’m never going to get tired
of hearing from them. Most of them fairly
drip with that bittersweet nostalgia that
makes people want to be poets: “In My
Dreams Tonight”, with its nice rhythmic
pattern and francophone accordian, the
memory-vignette that is South Ontario,
and my favorite, “One Short Day”. The
latter is a lazy, jazzy tune that calls to mind
exactly the kind of day White describes.
At the end of an album that’s pretty
serious even by folk music standards,
Richard White has left us a small surprise.
When I heard “I’m Not a Cowboy’, I
laughed until I cried. This is a perfect son of
“Don't Fence Me In” - iteven has that same
loping, tongue-in-cheek rhythm. I sure .
hope this one was meant to be funny.
Mention should be made of the
production, by Marc Vasey. Operating on
somewhat of a shoestring budget, he and
White decided to go for a live-in-studio
recording to cut down on the amount of
studio time needed. To save on the cost of
renting a studio, the theatre in the
Centennial Library was used. This budget
recording has a.much better than budget
sound, and White may even make a profit.
He’s distributing the album himself, so I'll
give you the address: Tonic Records, Box
9631, South Post Office, Edmonton T6E

The bottom line: a pretty good album
in the singer-songwriter field, but with
obvious room for improvement.

dates from the transition period of the

that period when the Gibbs were ex-

Now, however, it seems the Bee Gees

Just a few thoughts on the meaning of my life as sports editor.
I have often wondered when sitting behind this desk as to the
worth of my job. I ask myself one question over and over: Why?
I mean, how many people read the sports section let alone this
column anyway? In the recent Gateway reader survey I was dismayed
to find out that very few of the people even acknowledged that there
was a sports section in existence. Does the fact that I make a salary
for doing this job justify my existence? With the recent controversy
concerning the UAB I have even heard rumors favoring the
boycotting of ‘elitist’ sports. How can I plead for my professional life
when very few people know I'm alive!
To speak further on the reader survey, there was one person
who complimented the sports section, calling it fast and active.
Great, thought I. My fragile balloon was quickly burst when a staffer
pointed out that that same person also indicated that they don’t read
the sports section. Why do l-go on? It appears that I am only hitting
my head against a very hard wall. | can just imagine what the
res
nse would be if I conducted my own informal reader.survey on
and around campus. On the spot questions so to speak.
“Uh, excuse me miss, but I’m the sports editor for the Gateway
and I was wondering what you think of the sports section?”
“You mean we have a sports section?! Hey Wanda, listen to
this.
Well, on to the next person. Here comes a good looking
Prospect, carries a gym bag and everything.

“Get out of way dummy, I’m late for my ballet class.”

different angle.

What?
I have decided to throw my
lot into the Grey Cup pool and
come up with, what is commonly
known as a fearless forecast.
The Game: Grey Cup ‘81;
Edmonton vs. Ottawa.
Strengths: Edmonton:
Almost too many to mention.
Their offensive line is the best,
their defensive front seven is the
best, their receivers are the best,
’ their secondary is the best and one
of quarterbacks is the best.
(Wilkinson is over the hill)
Strengths: Ottawa:
Ha, ha. Gabriel I guess but he
may not play. The only other
ossible one is the adrenalin
actor. (a very unreliable intangi-
ble)
Weaknesses: Edmonton:
Ha, ha. Maybe their aoning
game (and that’s a big maybe) an
the fact that they might be a touch
complacent. Who wouldn't?
Weaknesses: Ottawa:
Almost too many to mention.
Quarterbacking is weak, secon-
dary crippled, defensive seven
works the five, offensive five
works like three.
Outcome: Edmonton will
make history. They re going to
lose by two points. Look for
Ottawa to blitz Moon early and
often and watch the interceptions |
crop up. Ottawa will score and.
score early and before the Eskimos
can get going the game will be
over. Before you laugh, remember
the Oilers vs. Canadiens last year.
This will be the east’s revenge.

Blaze ch
by Gateway staff
Police say the fire that i through
a hallway behind SUB theatre late last
night was caused by arson.
“The burn pattern indicates it was a
willfully set fire,” Detective Bob
Krewenchuk told the Gateway.
“It was not an accident,” said Edmonton
Fire Department Arson Investigator
Captain H. Matheson.
Matheson estimated damage at $25,000 to
the building and $5,000 for the contents.
Police have no suspects.
Smoke was discovered at approximately
11:20 p.m. by Gateway staff members laying
out today’s paper nearby.
Gateway staffer Peter Hammond discovered
the smoke billowing out from the east hall
door adjacent to the Gateway and Ski Club
offices on the second floor SUB, and
immediately pulled the fire alarm.
SUB caretakers identified the source of
the fire but were unable to gain access to
,the backstage hallway through doors that
appeared to have been jammed.
Said one janitor: “I had the hose out but
I couldn’t open the door (next to the
Gateway door).”
The entire second floor of SUB quickly
filled with dense, choking smoke. Flames
charred the entire length of the hallway,
and contents of hallway cupboards were
destroyed.
Firemen were forced to enter the hallway
through SUB Theatre because the doors
were jammed. Three hoses were brought in
to fight the blaze, and later, portable fans were
brought in to disperse some of the smoke.
CJSR campus radio Director Steve
Cumming said everything appeared to be
all right after a cursory inspection of
CJSR operations only steps away from the
scene of the fire.
Gateway offices behind the
etd were smoke filled but appeared

“You've got floodlights and curtains
(in the Theatre), and you should have some
kind of fire detection system.”
“There could be people dying in a
building like this.”
Campus Security said this was the
third arson on campus in the last year
and a half.
Investigators said the fire was
probably started with a match or ligtiter
in crumpled up papers, and burned for
about 45 minutes. ;

possible motives for arson. Arsonists

can be mentally disturbed, looking for
sexual gratification, revenge, or
insurance fraud.
Another reason for the high incidence of
arson is “copycat” fires - people
mimicking other arsonists.
“If we gave the news media a story
we'd have to double our staff, just to
keep up,” Matheson said.
Matheson asked the Gateway not to
sensationalize the story.
“The news media - The Journal and the
Sun hate us, because we don’t talk to them,”
(because of the risk of copycat fires), he said.
The investigation continues.
